How to compute the divisors of 5411?
A number N is said to be divisible by a number M (with M non-zero) if, when we divide N by M, the remainder of the division is zero.
Brute force algorithm
We could start by using a brute-force method which would involve dividing 5411 by each of the numbers from 1 to 5411 to determine which ones have a remainder equal to 0.
(where is the integer part of the quotient)
- 5411 / 1 = 5411 (the remainder is 0, so 1 is a divisor of 5411)
- 5411 / 2 = 2705.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 5411)
- 5411 / 3 = 1803.6666666667 (the remainder is 2, so 3 is not a divisor of 5411)
- ...
- 5411 / 5410 = 1.0001848428835 (the remainder is 1, so 5410 is not a divisor of 5411)
- 5411 / 5411 = 1 (the remainder is 0, so 5411 is a divisor of 5411)
Improved algorithm using square-root
However, there is another slightly better approach that reduces the number of iterations by testing only integers less than or equal to the square root of 5411 (i.e. 73.559499726412). Indeed, if a number N has a divisor D greater than its square root, then there is necessarily a smaller divisor d such that:
(thus, if , then )
- 5411 / 1 = 5411 (the remainder is 0, so 1 and 5411 are divisors of 5411)
- 5411 / 2 = 2705.5 (the remainder is 1, so 2 is not a divisor of 5411)
- 5411 / 3 = 1803.6666666667 (the remainder is 2, so 3 is not a divisor of 5411)
- ...
- 5411 / 72 = 75.152777777778 (the remainder is 11, so 72 is not a divisor of 5411)
- 5411 / 73 = 74.123287671233 (the remainder is 9, so 73 is not a divisor of 5411)
